São Paulo Music Documentary
June 17th, 2010
The above is a trailer for the We.music (sorry, shit name!) documentary about independent music in São Paulo. Sorry for those non-portuguese speakers, I’ll see if I can find a subtitled version. I haven’t seen it yet, but it does look interesting and reasonably well made.
The independent scene seems to be holding out hope for the music industry in Brasil, now that the majors have all but given up the ghost. Groups like Mombojó (see below) are self releasing their own material through their site and seem to have struck a deal with the infernal UOL to make their new album available, though I would be interested to know how that works out financially for them.
The documentary includes friend of Man Recs, DJ Chernobyl. At the We.music site there’s a nice track by Mr Chernobyl with excellent São Paulo Rapper Xis.
